The Mississippi Poultry Association, founded in 1937, represents the poultry industry in the state. The Association membership is comprised of poultry and egg companies, producers from these companies, and many of the businesses that help support the industry. The Association is proud of its role in making poultry the state’s number one agricultural commodity in terms of value. Our industry also boasts a number four ranking nationally in broilers produced with several leading world known companies as members. The three main objectives of the Mississippi Poultry Association are governmental affairs on the state and federal level, member education and generic product promotion.
